Participating institutions implement the course Microeconomics of Competitiveness in their curricula which explores the determinants of competitiveness and successful economic development viewed from a bottom-up, microeconomic perspective. The course is taught by CCSC faculty. Porter’s publication “The Competitive Advantage of Nations” established the concept of competitiveness to be not only applicable to individual firms, but equally to nations, and regions, and that a competitive nation or region would foster the development of competitive sectors and firms.

The MOC European Chapter (www.emoc.eu) was founded in August 2011. Its main purpose is to disseminate and discuss the idea and research done in the MOC network in Europe, to tailor it to a European context but also to enrich the network with a European perspective, experience and cases.
